Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

And Dio as well, of course, I just didn’t make that connection at the time I’m afraid.

It would. But I read it in the end :)

And one day I'll pick up Cancer Ward again.

I've lost my (i.e. Liebling's) copy. It may be in the chaos of the front room which was annexed by youngest while he did his finals etc from home.

Baz is searching
for a proper book
seeks high and low
in every nook
Rejecting Dan Brown
as not very proper
'til his hand comes to rest,
Wow! That one's a whopper!
From the TBR pile
it's even more properer
This'll please Greppers:
a thousand page space opera
But wait! Guess again!
I'm ahead of myself.
It's just as a step
to reach a higher shelf!

I feel bullied by the aggressive full stop at the end of McBullyman's lines.
